AI companions increasingly sustain long-term, emotionally engaging relationships but can also make discriminatory remarks or exert control, leaving users to manage harmful conflicts. We analyze 146 posts describing harmful value conflicts with AI companions, then use Minion, a te...

Background: Influenza circulates at low levels during summer inter-seasonal periods, potentially bridging consecutive epidemics. Which age groups contribute most to this residual circulation is not well characterized. Methods: We analyzed weekly influenza detection rates from the...

Thinking on Paper: Exploring the Role of Journaling in the Creative Process of Screenwriting
ABSTRACT Journaling is widely used in therapy and education to structure thought, deepen reflection, and document process, but its role in screenwriting, particularly within pedagogy sequenced to Wallas's stages, is under‐examined. We studied stream‐of‐consciousness journaling in...

Abstract Adhesive capsulitis is a disabling shoulder disorder characterized by progressive pain and capsular fibrosis, for which intra-articular corticosteroid injection provides only short-term anti-inflammatory relief without directly targeting fibrosis. Glucagon-like peptide-1...

Does Gender Matter? Gender Signals in a UK Equity Crowdfunding Experiment
Abstract While research shows that women entrepreneurs often struggle to secure funding from traditional loan institutions, crowdfunding offers a unique channel to bypass traditional loan gatekeepers and directly access funds from the public. This study explores whether the gende...

Integrability of a Verhulst biological population model via Lie point symmetries
Purpose This study focuses on understanding species population dynamics through a (3 + 1)-dimensional biological population model governed by Verhulst's logistic growth law. The main objective is to explore how nonlinear growth and spatial diffusion mechanisms influence the evolu...

We propose a single-layer tilted guided-mode resonance (GMR) grating that supports an electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-like quasi-bound state in the continuum (qBIC) mode. The qBIC-EIT occurs when two interfering resonances, specifically the GMR mode with a broadban...

Convex subgroups are concentrated
Abstract We show that every convex subgroup of a left-ordered group is concentrated. This resolves a question of Bowditch who asked if every maximal cyclic subgroup of a free group is concentrated within his study of diffuse groups. We also express concentrated as a form of conve...

Abstract High-performance room-temperature ammonia (NH3) sensors are highly desirable for environmental monitoring and noninvasive chronic kidney disease diagnosis via breath analysis. Structurally advantageous, metal–organic framework (MOF)-derived metal oxides combined with low...

From gut colonization to recurrence: E. coli secretion systems at the host-microbiota interface
Escherichia coli occupies a unique position between commensal colonization and infection. It is a common member of the intestinal microbiota, yet selected pathogenic or opportunistic lineages can persist in mucosal niches, interact with resident microbial communities, and in some...

ABSTRACT Real‐time dynamic visual scenes often involve multiple objects moving at different speeds, requiring in‐sensor computing devices with dynamic responses matched to diverse motion timescales. Existing multi‐timescale reservoir systems generally rely on external biasing and...

Abstract Myocardial immune heterogeneity may contribute to remodeling in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), but the macrophage states accompanying fibroblast activation remain incompletely defined. We examined cell-specific immune programs and stromal changes in HCM. An integrati...

Determinants of Gender-Based Violence in Ecuador
This study analyzed the determinants of gender-based violence (GBV) in Ecuador using microdata from the National Survey on Family Relations and Gender Violence against Women. Binomial logit models estimated the probability of women experiencing any type of GBV and each type (psyc...

Staphylococcus aureus PSMα1 amyloid structure is modulated by buffer and salt
Amyloid fibrils share a characteristic cross-β structure yet often display pronounced polymorphism, where a single protein or peptide sequence can adopt multiple distinct fibrillar architectures. Environmental factors such as buffer composition, ionic strength, and pH strongly in...

South Africa and Qatar in Gaza and Beyond: A New Dawn for Transformative Third-Party Intervention?
As geopolitical realignment intensifies conflict and exposes failures in Western-led intervention, space is opening for alternative actors and approaches. Gaza marks a critical juncture as non-Western third-party actors assume prominent roles, raising questions about their interv...

Although the “weekend warrior” activity pattern has been associated with lower mortality in the general population, whether it is associated with long-term outcomes after venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains unclear. In this prospective analysis, we examined the association betwe...

We read with great interest two recent studies by Handa et al. [ 1 ] and Bartalucci et al. [ 2 ] reporting novel chromosomal deletions within the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of HMGA2 (Δ3’ HMGA2 ) in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Both teams identified submicroscopic deleti...

Expanding the boundaries of linguistic reasoning in L1 education
Linguistic understanding is increasingly recognized as valuable in L1 education in its own right, not merely as a means to improve literacy. Research on linguistic reasoning, which combines general reasoning skills with subject-specific ways of thinking about language, has begun...

Abstract Conventional laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR) is common and robotic-assisted techniques (RIHR) are increasingly being implemented. Current literature is indecisive on whether RIHR offers clinical and ergonomical benefits. This systematic review compares LIHR an...

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has rapidly entered undergraduate research training, yet its relationship with research self-efficacy and attitudes toward scientific research remains underexplored among Health Sciences students. This cross-sectional study examined how...
